A Vogt For Frank

February 23, 1986|By Harry Straight and Donna Blanton of the Sentinel Staff

LONG-SHOT CANDIDATE for governor Frank Mann has picked up the support of Pete Vogt, the owner of an Orlando real-estate company and an activist in the state Democratic Party. Vogt says he plans to help Mann raise money and do whatever else he can. A Democratic state senator from Fort Myers, Mann is known for his candor, off-color remarks and occasionally outrageous sense of humor. Vogt is well aware of that reputation. ''If he can avoid making some smart-ass remark, he'll probably be okay,'' Vogt said.
